    You can pass a string as a p-field instead of a number, like this:
    </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">
i 1 0 10 "A4"
</pre>
      <p>
    The string can be received by the instrument and further processed
    using the <a class="link" href="StringsTop.html" title="Strings"><em class="citetitle">string
    opcodes</em></a>. 
  </p>

              <p>Currently only one p-field can contain a string (i.e. no

    using <a class="link" href="strset.html" title="strset"><em class="citetitle">strset</em></a>
    and <a class="link" href="strget.html" title="strget"><em class="citetitle">strget</em></a>.</p>
